Il designatore arbitrale delle squadre giovanili di Beverly Hills si dimette dall’incarico con una lettera durissima contro i genitori delle giovani promesse.

“And there’s a reason, I have come to despise so many of you and I hold so many of you in contempt. Your behavior on the sidelines has, for far too long, been disrespectful and you are damaging the children. You have said nasty things to and about too many referees and it must come to an end. I can no longer be involved with so many people who feel so entitled.”

Too many parents spouted expletive-laden, toxic sentiments, he said. “It’s the venom. ‘Kill them; get in there, girls, hit them hard,’” he said, quoting sideline exhortations.

… said he had received more than 200 responses from colleagues and parents, all positive.

Some, he said, were from “egregious violators” who did not realise they were his target. “You’re agreeing with me? I’m talking about you. My whole email was directed at you.”
